WRRC Webinar Explores Global WaterBankruptcy
Global water scarcity is often described as a crisis, but according to Kaveh Madani, Director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment, and Health, this term is misleading. Crisis implies a short-term, reversible disruption. The world’s human-water systems are well beyond the crisis point.Instead, these systems are entering global water bankruptcy following a period of water insolvency so prolonged that many of its impacts have become irreversible. On June 10, 2026, the WRRC hosted a webinar with Madani to discuss his framework for the state of global water resources and to imagine a path forward.
